The willingness by Carolina Hurricanes owner Thomas Dundon to embrace the team's heritage as the Hartford Whalers has been both profitable and overdue. Unfortunately, some back in Connecticut seem to think this is going to lead to a rekindling of old flames from somewhere back in the long ago.
To paraphrase Kenny Loggins: That's what a fool believes.
Connecticut Gov. Daniel Malloy has sent a letter to Dundon inviting him to bring the team to Hartford for a regular-season game or, and this is completely true, an outdoor game at the University of Connecticut's football stadium.
Not to step on Dundon's toes here, but there's an easy answer to this: Thanks, but no thanks.
